Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Chapter 463 The Godex of the Wolf

Tessa opened her mouth, then finally nodded under Walter's gaze. "It was because of an accident. I actually came today to ask if I could borrow some of your ancient books-I wanted to see if there's a way to break a Bloodbound."

Walter's eyes immediately turned red. His hands trembled as he gripped hers. "Tessie, my dear girl... you've suffered so much. The Bloodbound-it's forbidden magic among werewolves. It forcibly binds soul and flesh, and on every full moon, you have to endure excruciating, soul-tearing pain! The process of casting it is as cruel as being flayed alive! Who was the monster that did this to you?"

His voice choked with emotion, eyes full of pain and fury. He looked as if he wanted to tear the caster limb from limb.

Tessa gently patted the back of his hand, trying to comfort him. "Grandpa, don't be upset. It's in the past. I survived it. Now I just need to find a way to break the Bloodbound. I'll take revenge myself. I'll make them pay."

Her voice was firm, her eyes flashing with the stubborn light of the white wolf. In her consciousness, Emma let out a low growl, echoing her resolve.

Walter let out a sigh and reached into a hidden compartment of his desk. He pulled out a yellowed, worn scroll and handed it to Tessa. “Tessie, when I performed the purification ritual during your coming-of-age ceremony, I noticed the Violet Mark of the Bloodbound on your body."

He continued, "Afterward, I searched through all my ancient texts and only managed to find one-third of the Codex of the Wolf. It contains the origin of the Bloodbound and partial reversal incantations-but it's incomplete."

He paused, hope flickering in his eyes. "If we can gather the remaining pieces, we may be able to break it completely. The Nightshade Pack is the largest in Montedra. Their archives might hold more pieces of the Codex of the Wolf. Landie is their Alpha-he'll definitely have a way to help you."

Tessa accepted the scroll, her fingers brushing against the old wolf-script etched into the parchment. She could feel a faint pulse of ancient magic. Her brows furrowed in thought. The scroll offered a chance-but collecting the full codex would be no easy task. Nathan's Frost Pack might also possess ancient texts, but she refused to negotiate with him. The Nightshade Pack's secret archives were a possibility... but she didn't want Landon to worry about her being Bloodbound. Tessa, don't worry. We've got a lead now. We'll definitely find the rest!

Of course. I'll break this cursed Bloodbound sooner or later, Tessa replied through their soul link. Then she gave her grandfather a faint smile. “Grandpa, don't worry. I'll find the remaining pieces and the way to break the spell."

“Good. If there's anything I can help with, you must tell me. I just want to see you free of that curse and able to be mates with Landon without any shadows between you."

"Okay."noveldrama

When Tessa and Walter came downstairs, Landon was sitting alone on the couch sipping red tea. Lila and Winona were trying to curry favor with him-but he ignored them completely.

As soon as he saw Tessa, Landon immediately stood up to greet her. "You were upstairs with Grandpa for a while. What were you two talking about?"

Tessa gave a quick excuse. "Just some family stuff. Exams are coming up in a couple of days, alaik told me not to stress.

Something like that needs to be discussed privately in the study? And for that long?

Flex paced in Landon's consciousness, clearly irritated. We're fated mates, and she's still hiding things from me

Walter, hearing Tessa's excuse, immediately knew she didn't want Landon to find out about the Bloodbound. So he jumped in to cover for her. "Hahaha! Landie, are you blarning me for taking up too much of Tessie's time? We hadn't seen each other in a while and just lost track of time chatting

"How could I blame you, Mr. Walter? I'll bring Tessie to visit the Sinclair residence more often

"Good. Tessie's exam is the day after tomorrow. Let her focus and prepare well. You two can come again after it's over."

"Of course, Grandpa."

After saying goodbye to Walter, Landon wrapped an arm around Tessa as they headed back to Wisteria Apartment.

In the passenger seat, Tessa gently touched the scroll she'd tucked inside her coat. Once the exams were over, she'd need to find a way to access the Nightshade Pack's secret library.
